These particular officers are really only making their ranks look bad in the eyes of the people they are claiming to protect. If they are not disciplined in a meaningful way, then there is a big problem here brewing.
They are not "only making their ranks look bad". More important than their fucking looks and reputation is that they are also brutalizing and traumatizing an occupied People.
Agreed. We do not know the whole story here, but it does not look good and I am willing to bet these people being attacked is unjustified.
Maybe not he whole story for this specific instance, but the whole story generally is something that rhymes with "Israel is a genocidal apartheid state."
I would agree with that by the evidence we are seeing but the comment I made was about this incident specifically in the USA.
My guy Palestine is occupied since 1948 by Israel who, usually, "only" did sporadic bombings here and there. Now there's an active war with some 35k dead and Israeli forces preparing to invade Rafah which has an encampment of unthinkable amounts of refugees. There's a genocide going on right now. This kind of behaviour is encouraged, not ignored. Their ranks look bad enough committing genocide, it isn't a few "bad apples".
